Public art celebration - A View from Two Sides by Kenneth Emig

The official celebration of A View from Two Sides by Kenneth Emig took place on Saturday June 11 at the Adàwe crossing. Tobi joined the artist Kenneth Emig, city officials and members of the community to celebrate the artwork. Created by local artist Kenneth Emig, A View from Two Sides features two stainless steel reflective spheres, both 1.5 metres in diameter, situated at eye level on the observation areas of the bridge. The spheres present a panoramic view that includes the sky, river, shores, bridge, pedestrians and cyclists.

Policy Options magazine published an article I wrote entitled “The Five I’s of Failed Urban Planning”. In it, I summarize the reasons for urban planning failure in five major themes: influence, inertia, illiteracy, inconsistency and interference. The article covers both the key reasons for urban planning failure and my suggested solutions for fixing them, building on my presentation at the 2016 Annual Conference of the Canadian Institution of Planners.
